What does this word mean?

What does it mean when someone says I own this picture or for example jan owns...what dothey mean by they own it...im thinking it means that they took the picture of them but im not for sure...someone tell me the meaning thanks!!

when I say I OWN, its usually to describe a domination feeling. I say all the time that I own my work, the facility's worth 200 million, of course I don't own it. But its just a domination feeling. I dominate this

well I'm not sure if it's OWN/OWNS It can be used either way but it's like supposed to be a cool word type thing!! for example it could be "oh she totally owns you" that means like she did something better than the other person!! other time owns can be used to show posesion of something!!

I think you mean “Pwn”, which is pronounced “Own”; it’s a leetspeak slang term that implies domination or humiliation of a rival, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture to taunt an opponent that has just been soundly defeated.

It originally dates back to the days of a game called “Warcraft”, when a map designer misspelled "Own" as "Pwn"; what was originally supposed to be "player has been owned" was "player has been pwned".

Own - something that belongs to me.

LOL no that is not what I mean

stephanief987 is actually right in a sense...

People have said in on myspace about their pictures, its like
'I own this picture!' if they like it

etc.

If I say I own a picture, I may mean it is my possesion and/or it is a picture I have copyright to, so if rights are sold, rights belong to me and I am the person who can sell my rights. I do not give permission for my picture to be sold, given away, reprinted, published-or I have the right to give those permissions. As "owner", it is my decision. The photo that I own, is not in the public domain. If it is in the public domain, nobody can "own" it.
It is for everyone, and it is free.
